Is anyone still watching this show? Not what it used to be and seems to be going round in circles.
Anyhew anyone who did see the show would have heard "The chain" had an airing in last nights episode, very odd out of it's usuall context.

But a good precursor to F1 returning to the Beeb biggrin

Ali Larter and Hayden Pantywhatsername still make it worth watching for me. That and Sylar, I love the way he can act with just his face...

I can't work out what is going on anymore (read I don't care if they all die)

I blame the writers strike and episodes written by commitee

It was the same with Lost, they spin it out so much it just becomes tedious.

I'm still hooked but I think that is partly (or mostly) due to Ali Larter and the high standard of production rather than the story line.

Yes - even after a lot of daftness in previous series, I think it's time for Grahahm Chapman to appear in a colonel's uniform and stop all the damn silliness.

Mr Eyebrows yes he's only one step down from Conrad Poos and his amazing dancing teeth.

Still very watchable imo.

But once this series concludes I struggle to see where it can go. But then I'm not a writer.

We know from series one that Hiro becomes a darker character setting up the save the cheerleader plot but is currently sitting powerless.
That needs resolved as probably do many other things that I cannot recall just now.

But will the writers ignore all that and plough on with completely different ideas.

Damn I sound like a geek.

For me, the problem with most sci-fi series is, they soon realise that dialogue is more "cost effective" than special effects.

You mean to say that they realise story telling is more effective than special effects?

Heroes has never really been a major one for the special effects. Well, excepting a cheerleaders body healing itself, sylar slicing peoples heads off, peter flying, flamethrowing numpties, ladies who can turn people to ice ...

I think its still very watchable. Sylar is a great character and a great actor, but now he has done good guy made bad, turned good, done bad, found source of his turmoil I don't see where he can go. Peter and Nathans characters both quite weak and feeble these days I think, Angela the only interesting Petrelli left. HRG still very good in a Micahel Douglas Falling Down type way...

Hiro and Ando were amusing but again, they have lost the plot as has Parkman. Not many surprises at the moment, maybe afew new characters needed?

If I'm counting right The Cold Snap will be on BBC3 ant 2230 on the 30th March.

I'm not starting any Rebel guessing games. Could just spoil the reveal.

I'm still watching it, it has gone down and very complicated recently but I'm sticking with it. I think the main reason for the down turn was Bryan Fuller leaving the writing in an earlier series to go and do Pushing Daisies. Now that Daisies is finished Fuller is coming back into this series soon, hopefully he'll give the writers a slap and get things as they were again smile .

A few things I hope they sort out or explain -

Peter 'borrows' powers by touching people now? He used to absorb them by being close to them...
How did Sylar get out of the Pinehurst fire?

But at least I know where Sylar got his braining finger pointing power from now smile

Am I the only one who doesn't rate Hayden Panettiere?

She talks very weirdly, almost out the side of her mouth, plus she's a crap actress. She looks like she's trying to suppress a smile half the time.

I do like the fact that the rest of the bints are total eye candy though!! lick
